POLL: Have United now effectively won the Premier League title?
Following Alex Ferguson side’s victory today, many pundits have written off City as title contenders.
Furthermore, Kenny Cunningham, while doing commentary for Newstalk today, also suggested the title race was all over, and that City had no hope of catching their rivals.
However, there is also evidence to suggest such proclamations may turn out to be unwise.
